I'm not looking for STT->AI ->TTS, I'm looking for truly good voice-to-text experience* on Linux (and others). Siri/iOS-Dictation is truly good when it comes to understanding the speech. Something this level on Linux (and others) would be great, yeah always listening, maybe sending the data somewhere, but give me UX - hidden latency, optimizing for first chars recognized - a good (virtual) input device.

> Siri/iOS-Dictation is truly good when it comes to understanding the speech. What...? It is terrible, even compared to Whisper Tiny , which was released years ago under an Apache 2.0 license so Apple could have adopted it instantly and integrated it into their devices. The bigger Whisper models are far better, and Parakeet TDT V2 (English) / V3 (Multilingual) are quite impressive and very fast. I have no idea what w…

Maybe they have exactly the accent iOS dictation was trained to recognize.

I am just gonna link the stats of this hackernews post[0] and let public decide the rest because for context, this is same company which was mentioned in a blow-up post 12 days ago which had gotten 600 upvotes and they didn't respond back then[1] (I have found it hard for posts to have such a 2x factor within minutes of posting, that's just my personal observation. Usually one gets it after an hour or two or three.)…

The upvotes on the current post are fine - the reason you saw the submission rise in rank is that startup launch posts by YC startups get special placement on the front page (this is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html ). Not every such post does, but some do. In other words, your perception wasn't wrong, but the interpretation was off. I've put "Launch HN" and "YC W26" back in the title to make tha…

Thanks dang but can you please explain there being two accounts who wrote something very small comment and one account being completely new and the other being 7 months old only being invoked in this case.

Clearly I am not the only one here as john_strinlai here seems to have had somewhat of the same conclusion as me.

Dang I know you care about this community so can you please talk more what you think about this in particular as well.

I understand that YC companies get preferential treatment, Fine by me. But this feels something larger to me

I have written everything that I could find in this thread from the same post being shown here 3 days ago in anywhere.ai link to now changing to github to skirt off HN rule that same link can't be posted in short period of time and everything.

This feels somewhat intentional just like the spam issue, I hope you understand what I mean.

(If you also feel suspicious, Can you then do a basic analysis/investigiation with all of these suspicious points in mind and everything please as well and upload the results in an anonymous way if possible?)

I wish you to have a nice day and waiting for your thoughts on all of this.

I think the title should read "RunAnywhere," not "RunAnwhere."

Dang has changed the title and it seems that he may have had a minor error doing it . Must have been a typo from his side changing it and that's okay! I think that Dang will update it sooner than later.

Edit: just reloaded, its fixed now.

Doesn't work. " zsh: segmentation fault rcli"

You could share your setup details, on GH if not here, to make it actionable.

I did on Github. This looks vibecoded? EDIT: Dev is using Claude Code as stated in their github updates.

Just tried it. really cool, and a fun tech demo with rcli. I filed a bug report; not everything is loading properly when installed via homebrew. Quick request: unsloth quants; bit per bit usually better. Or more generally UI for huggingface model selections. I understand you won't be able to serve everything, but I want to mix and match! Also - grounding: "open safari" (safari opens, voice says: "I opened safari") "n…

How did you try it? You said on github it doesn't work.

hi dang. while you are here -- are comments artificially ordered on this post?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47326953 is grey (i.e the two posts calling out unethical behavior have been living at the bottom of this post the entire time, until a couple of actually [flagged] comments ended up under them.

i do not care about the karma itself, at all. but i do care to know if launch/show posts have comment sections with cherry-picked ordering or organic ordering.

edit 2: i am at 19 points, and now below two grey (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47326455). whats up dang?

edit 3 (~1 hour later): you've responded to a handful of other comments and ignored this one as it becomes more and more evident that someone has artificially ordered the comments to ensure that critical comments are at the bottom of the page. it has shattered my perception of show/launch posts to know that you manually curate the comments to form a specific narrative. i really (naively) thought you guys were much more neutral about that sort of thing.
